This is a change in the UI for ST I've lobbied for. On the form, it
provides a field for 'meta_type', but it *really* means 'Type'. use what
you put in *this* field (the one that *says* meta_type, but *means*
'Type'.

Personally, I make the 'meta_type' field what I want, say 'Book Review',
for example, and then search on it using the 'Type' field. Works like a
charm here.
